Your morning adorable: Head-tilting pugs take YouTube by storm

If an award were given to celebrate excellence in the field of head-tilting, it would definitely go to pugs Minnie and Max. So when the pair welcomed a
head-tilting houseguest named Mabel -- that's Mabel on the left -- the adorableness quotient was bound to rise astronomically.

The resulting video is so charming (and there are few things we find more charming than head-tilting dogs, unless you count George Clooney) that it's been featured on TV shows ranging from "Good Morning America" to "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" to "Live With Regis and Kelly."

Note to any concerned readers who may worry for these pups' welfare: "No props were used and no necks were injured in the making of this video," their owner notes. Special bonus: Minnie and Max have recently joined the legion of Twitter users -- you can follow them @MinnieMaxPugs.
